My Eve and Gaia ADO Four Elements Challenge!

This is Eve, she is my first experiment with Polymer Clay. I have learnt so much from her, and can still see a thousand errors - but hey! best way to learn eh!!! Images enlarge if you click on them. She's 12" high.
I decided to paint the eyes, rather than insert glass ones. They are still a little flat looking. I also discovered what paint works well, and what doesn't, more importantly! she ended up with a 'distressed' finish. Totally deliberate of course!

...... And now for Gaia, The Greek Goddess personifying the Earth. My ADO four Elements challenge. She is made from cloth, and painted with watercolors.

Don't forget to check all the artists out - you can link to their pages via the ADO Blog. All the names of participants are listed on the left side of the page. There are loads!!!!!! :O)

Abi, this was your first polymer clay piece? HOLY SMOKES Girl... you are a natural and where born to do this. Just absolutely beautiful! And two pieces to boot! WHOOOOHOOO... Enjoy the Blog Event! Have a great weekend.Cheers

Abi,"Eve" is divine! Fabulous work! She speaks to me. I love the eyes! If you want to give them a sheen, you could try Crystal lacquer. It is what I use to gloss lips, and eyes if they have been painted. Gives a beautiful finish.

Of course, I love your "Gaia". She looks so motherly and serene. Just beautiful work, sweetie!

Abi, I've mentioned before how much I like your Gaia piece, she's wonderful!

I am incredibly impressed with Eve. No way would I think this is your first polymer sculpt - you did such a fantastic job creating her. btw - her eyes look great, at first glance I thought they were glass eyes!

Do you have a great job! And I found that can, and do not need someone to listen and to do so, as the heart dictates. Only in this way and produce your own style, different from others. Good luck! After all, you have such great potential!

I love them both. Eve reminds me of a piece I would see for sale in an old French Flea market - very vintage. And Gaia is just sweet. I had a lot of fun with this challenge. And Thank You for stopping by my blog.

They are both lovely, I like the way the eyes look, it's kind of melancholy - so you didn't get the wrong paint!!! I've tried using false eyelashes on my Alice doll... how tricky are they to apply!!!! :o)

That's your first attempt with polymer clay!? And you created such a beautifully detailed bust?!?Amazing, Abi :)And Gaia needs to be in a gallery somewhere..she is so wonderfully made and a wonderful interpretation~

Stunning to say the least! You are a natural with the polymer clay and I love the distressed look of Eve. Gaia has the most serene face and is just beautiful. I love all the details you added truly giving her a world all her own!

You did beautifully on your firt polymer...She i so breathetaking. I am so very proud of you for taking a leap of faith and jumping into something new..That is a courageous feat. Bravo, I bow to you...knew it would be wonderful.

Gaia is wonderful and her detailing is superb. I also love your polymer clay sculpture. The distressing that 'happened' on her turned out perfectly. I will be keeping close tabs on your blog! Thank you becoming a follower!Warmest Wishes,Tomi DelaneyBramblewood Bears
